Description

Connect two 10/100 Ethernet devices to a single Cat5/Cat5e cable drop. The RJ45SPLITTER 2-to-1 RJ45 Splitter Cable Adapter increases the number of RJ45 network connections on an RJ45 outlet, allowing two 10/100 Ethernet signals through a single Cat5/Cat5e wire.On one end of the installation the splitter enables you to connect two patch cables from a hub or switch to a single port on a patch panel; while on the other end of the installation the splitter connects to a single Cat5/Cat5e network drop through a wall outlet which can then be split and connected to two separate devices. The patch panel and wall outlet are connected through a single Cat5/Cat5e cable.

After reading that I would be needing two of these splitters, to achieve what I wanted, I had no problems at all. The bad reviews appear to be from prior customers that had not read all the way through. Works great..both devices run like champs

You must use this splitter properly or it will not work.
You need to purchase 2 of these splitters. 2 network cables go into the splitter and are combined into 1, which is the single network plug you see on the splitter. This is plugged into the existing cable at your home or business that you want the 2 cables to use. At the other end of the cable at your home or business, the 2nd splitter network cable is attached. You can now use both jacks on both splitters with STANDARD network cables. You CANNOT split again or use POE (Power Over Ethernet) on the splitters.
These are awesome if you need a 2nd network cable in a location that is hard to run another cable.

One thing you need to know about the splitter cable is that it does not work like a phone jack splitter. You can't get just one, plug it into the wall and then plug in 2 devices. If you do this it will seem like one side doesn't work at all. You need to buy two splitters and put one at the wall where you have your 2 devices (computers you want on the network), then put the other one at the server (plug the male end into the patchboard, then 2 patch cables from the splitter into the swich/router). I had to do an internet search on "how to use an RJ45 splitter" and found a very helpful YouTube video to find this answer. Once I did this the product works just fine.
